PART – A

Preface

Government First Grade College, Nelamangala was established in the year 2007 as a

result of government of Karnataka‟s policy of extending the facility of higher education to the

students of rural areas of the state. The establishment of the college gave an

opportunity for the students coming from socio-economically weaker section of the

society, pursue higher education, without travelling to faraway places. The college, since its

inception, has provided ample opportunities for rural students to pursue higher education.

This is evident from the fact that the college has a record of more enrolment of girl

students than boys. The college was initially started in the Pre-university building in

Nelamangala. The infrastructure of the college was limited to 10 rooms in the borrowed

building. There were only 7 permanent teaching staff and 5 nonteaching staff with 137

students to start with. Since then the college has witnessed a slow and steady progress in

Academic and developmental aspects.

The college started functioning by offering Bachelor of Arts program with HEP and

HES, Bachelor of Commerce and BBM along with English and Kannada languages. In the

year 2014-15 Bachelor of Science stream was started with the combination of Physics ,

Mathematics and Computer Science to cater to the need of rural students. One of the

classrooms was used for providing a library facility for the students with 3000 books in the

beginning. With the recruitment of more number of teaching staff by the state government, in

the year 2009, as many as 8 qualified and experienced permanent faculty members were

posted to the college which helped in the overall development of the college.

The optimum utilization of the government grants and the help offered by the college

development committee (CDC) has helped in the study progress of the college in academic

and administrative development. The students of the college with limited infrastructural

Facilities were able to produce good results with the help of committed faculty. The college

got a real booster when the government released grants for a new building in the year 2011

Own college building was constructed beside the PU Building with a built up area of 1450 sq

mts with 08 class rooms, one principal chamber, one room for library, two rest rooms ,one

office and one staffroom.

The college started functioning in the new building from the year 2013. Since, the

number of rooms were not sufficient in this building, additional grant was released for the

construction of more class rooms and rest rooms in the first floor of same building. The

college has a play ground with a qualified Physical Education Director to undertake sports

activities of the college.

After the completion of five years of successful existence, in the year 2011, the

college was eager to go for assessment by NAAC. As an initial step, Several quality

improvement programs were introduced and successfully initiated with the help of teaching

and non teaching staff, CDC members, students and all the stake holders.

SELF STUDY REPORT

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 3

Presently the college has student strength of 946 and 16 permanent staff members, 35

guest lecturers and 8 supporting staff. The college has initiated various quality enhancement

programs to fulfill the vision of our college to empower the students towards excellence in

the professional and competitive world.

The IQAC team formed in the year 2012 is taking care of all the activities related to

quality enhancement, with the help of all the faculty members. The college was able to

initiate its quality enhancement programs effectively with a own building and other

infrastructural, financial assistance from the government.

I am very happy to submit the self study report of the college to NAAC. I am grateful

to the support provided by the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Director, Additional

Director, Joint Director, NAAC and the College Development Committee. I am grateful to

Dr. Mary M Lalitha Oommen ( former Principal of the college) for initiating and guiding the

Quality enhancement programs. I extend my sincere word of appreciation for the teaching

and non-teaching staff of the college for their support and commitment. I am thankful to Prof.

The college has conducted a green audit of its campus and is proud to have trees of rare

species, shady trees, fruit bearing trees, medicinal plants, holy trees etc. These have been well

nurtured and protected. Programs for planting ornamental trees, medicinal plants have been

organized to promote greenery. With limited resources, we have improved the stretch of land

with plantation. Shelters called „KUTEERAS‟ have been constructed for resting of students

from sun and rain during leisure hours with seating arrangements.

7.1.2 What are the initiatives taken by the college to make the campus eco-friendly?

Energy conservation

Use of renewable energy

Water harvesting

Check dam construction

Efforts for Carbon neutrality

The students are educated to keep the campus litter free and plastic free. NSS students

periodically clean up the campus by removing waste weeds, congress plants and grass which

are harmful to the environment.

Water harvesting an innovation project by making use of conventional historic well

has been planned. With the help of local authorities, rain water harvesting has been planned

and is yet to takeoff. This would be a classic example precedent in rural area to guide the

others in rain water harvesting.

Unfortunately no river and no attempts are made to rebuild small and big tanks by

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 116

.Students have been advised on ill-effects of dam construction and students have been warned

about preventing possible construction of dams whenever wherever possible. Plantation of

trees, various kinds of trees and medicinal plants.

To neutralize carbon spread into the environment, forestation awareness, to reduce cutting of

trees, shifting heavy and valuable trees from one place to another place. (NSS unit of the

college is striving hard to make the environment of the college green and clean Students are

made to understand management of garbage and waste. Two pits – wet and dry have been

dug to dispose waste. (Preparation of worm compost Waste is converted into manure.

The college does not produce e-waste but, awareness is created on e-waste management.

7.2 Innovations

7.2.1 Give details of innovations introduced during the last four years which have

created

a positive impact on the functioning of the college.

As college was founded in 2007-08, we struggled hard to obtain infrastructural facilities from

rental building to own building. With availability of new building in 2012 and the master

facilitator in HRD, TQM, our institution jumped into quality action by introducing a series of

innovations to create over all revolutionary changes/inputs in the college. With the set

objective, students‟ empowerment and vision of making our students not only graduates but

also good human beings and strong citizens, well thought out plans are made. An innovative

plan of value education was made in the light of value crisis and present day situations of

negative behavior of the students. Our faculty educated the students in civic responsibilities

like AIDS awareness, plantation of trees, human rights, environmental awareness, blood

donation etc. A number of moral and spiritual discourses were made. Talks on national unity,

anti-corruption, group discussions, health by nature, water literacy. A list of value topics

analyzed to be discussed and debated among students (List enclosed). The students were

imparted social, economic, moral and ethical values in the classes and assemblies held at the

college. Students‟ interaction and debate in various issues of the present day lifestyle,

attitudes, roles and responsibilities have helped to build our students to play effective and

positive role as good sons and daughters, officials and citizens of future. The value education

built into time table helped empower our students to face the life successfully. Personality

development programs are our best innovative practices to build self esteem and confidence

in our students. Women empowerment programs, awareness on dignity ,security of women

was thought out to be our immediate essential practice.

SELF STUDY REPORT

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 117

Students‟ debate, Essay competitions, experiential learning was conducted to make our girls

(Karate demonstration) more confident strong and secured. Training in self defense was

planned. A training program of unarmed combat/techniques was made for girl students.

Another healthy practice is Prayer/Assembly through which periodically

messages/information is disseminated to students and to motivate them, regular academic

counseling, counseling on examination skills, communication skills etc are taken up.

Counseling, curricular, co-curricular, extra- curricular activities helped to activate students

and speed. Functioning of the college, teaching and non-teaching staff would announce

various activities, positive value messages about the respective departments at forums. This

helped our students and faculties as a team for effective functioning of the college. The

counseling in the assembly improved students‟ regularity, academic performance, behavior

and their role in the innovative community services. Other healthy practice was skill

development as an innovation to evolve the students into perfect successful human

beings/strong citizens of the future. A number of programs were made to improve the life

skills through Group discussions, interactive sessions, seminars, debates, quiz etc. students

were forced to come out of their negative attitudes. Our students were timid, shy hesitant,

under confident with rural based culture. A number of sessions were conducted to improve

the confidence, courage and self esteem of the students on communication skills, leadership

qualities, decision making skills, problem solving skills, yoga skills, memory and

concentration improvement skills etc empowered our students.

The democratic governance is another healthy practice to strengthen the functioning of the

college. Through regular staff meetings, meetings of the governing body, library advisory

committee etc. the staff of the college are sensitized to the managerial concepts, of strategic

plan, team work, decision making and there by counseling the students. The college has made

various efforts towards all round development of the learning through welcome functions,

forums, clubs, talent search competitions etc to bring out the hidden talents and skills of the

students. This healthy practice promotes the transferable skills and capacity to learn. Several

teaching aids like OHP, PPT, use of charts, globes, maps, special lectures by expert resource

persons and workshops on First Aid etc were the exemplary innovative healthy practices.

Another exemplary/innovative healthy practice to

improve the academic ambience of the institution is the Dathi Chintamani Award system. To

promote academic excellence and boost the students‟ performance high scorers were

recognized and were given mementos and cash prizes. Dathi Awards were instituted by

liberal donations of CDC members, Principal and faculty. Students of all courses and subjects

SELF STUDY REPORT

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 118

are recognized for their merit through certificates and cash awards. This has created healthy

competition and learning atmosphere in the campus. The results are encouraging (Charts –

put 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12)

7.3. Best Practice

7.3.1. Best Practice: 01

Title of the Practice: Value Education

Goal

Value Education was a classic healthy practice adopted to empower the students for a strong

and happy future. The purpose of adopting this practice was to reach the visionary goals and

objectives of the institution. This was considered to be the most needed/essential practice to

promote social discipline in the future civilized world of students.

The context

In the background of value crisis and feeling of insecurity, value education is a foundation to

promote core activities of the college. The value counseling was to inculcate in the student,

the basic concepts of honesty, hard work, courage, self confidence, respect elders and

teachers and realization of their role as good son/daughter, citizen and official in the future

society. A number of value based concepts were discussed and debated in the class rooms in

the form of lectures, debates, seminars, group discussions, film shows, and interactive

sessions etc. About 50 topics were listed to be discussed in the assembly and were discussed

by the teachers and Principal in the assembly, class rooms which have created awareness,

eagerness and enthusiasm for an active role in the activities of the college. The value based

counseling has built a new life style and positive spirit in the students to challenge the future

problems.

Making the students “good human beings/strong citizens” in our socio- economic set up as a

major institutional objective has definitely found a good recognition.

The practice:

Value Education discourses were planned as per the HRD formula and built in to a time table

to make sure every student and teacher is involved in the process. All the teachers voluntarily

handled the Value Education classes as an additional workload. The students were delighted

to receive the practical values needed for their future.

The value topics like i.e., anti-dowry policy, role of women, drug addiction, alcoholism,

AIDS awareness, new lifestyles were found to be more interesting with active response and

participation of the students.

SELF STUDY REPORT

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 119

In case of shortage of class rooms, open portico and rooms in PU Building were made use of

to take up the classes. The students are more interest in the moral and spiritual discourses like

yoga, dhyana and prayers.

The major constraint was time limit and class rooms‟ shortage. In spite of it, value counseling

was mandatory to achieve the vision of students youth empowerment. The philosophy of

Swami Vivekananda was the major value based topic for the youth empowerment.

Evidence of success:

The value counseling has brought about transformation in the environment of the college and

student psychology. Students who were reluctant and unconfident have become regular and

enthusiastic in the college activities. The manner less irresponsible students has begun to

behave well and respond to the teachers. An atmosphere of discipline, co-operation and

peaceful living has begun. We are proud to state that complaints to redress grievances are nil.

Mutual support, service mindedness, collective living, collective participation have become

very successful. Student volunteers enthusiastically learn and participate in the college

activities.

Value Education has empowered the students particularly the girl students by imbibing

courage and confidence in them. Various workshops and awareness lectures have made

students enlightened about present day problems, issues and challenges and their role towards

changing the society. The days of criticizing and ragging the teachers have gone. The

teachers are well appreciated due to their role as mentors and guided by the Value Education.

Problems encountered and Resources required:

Small group of students not showing interest in value education against regular syllabus.

Faced problems in scheduling value edition classes in the semester system, because of vast

syllabus in some subjects and insufficient time. Facility of smart class room with Audio

visual equipments is required to teach values through visuals and documentary movies, PPT

etc to create interest among students in some dry topics.

we are encouraging students to keep clean and safe in the college premises, and finding

difficulties in protecting the plants that we have in front and back of the building so, need a

separate compound for the college building to protect the plants & to keep the surrounding

clean.

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 120

7.3.1. Best Practice: 02

Title of the practice: Student assembly

Goal:

The students coming from rural areas are brought up with inferiority because of the

socio-economic conditions of their society. The students coming from such background need

lot of focusing. They have enormous creativity which is often shadowed by their social and

economic background. It is the duty and responsibility of each and every educational

institution to address this issue and help the students coming from rural areas to realize their

hidden talent and strength collectively in a group. In this modern world we are facing a

serious problem of absence of interaction between people. There is lot of communication gap

between student and teacher, student and student. In this world of Information technology

and mobile phones, youngsters have forgotten the importance of face to face communication.

The goal of starting a healthy practice of student assembly is to overcome these problems.

The context:

The students are getting information through notice boards, through circulars in their

respective classes or with the help of a SMS sent by some friend. A systematic transaction of

information is not possible through such methods. If the same information is given to the

students by making them to assemble in a place, then the information is given to them in a

focused manner. In the ancient time the information was given to the people by the

authorities by using similar methods. The attention of the people was drawn by beating drums

or by blowing horns, when they assemble with curiosity, the information was read out. We

felt that the old methods are always valuable to start the practice of student assembly.

The practice:

The practice of student assembly is well planned and formatted. The students belonging to all

the courses of the college are informed well in advance about the significance of the

assembly. The date and venue of assembly is informed to the students through circulars and

personally in the classrooms in the initial stages. The students are asked to assemble in the

portico area of the college in the morning, before the regular classes are held. All the students

of B.Sc,B.A, Bcom and B B M are instructed

to assemble together. The faculty members headed by the principal give an informal welcome

address. The students are informed briefly about the purpose of the assembly. The assembly

is aimed at giving information to the students regarding on going programs and schedule of

SELF STUDY REPORT

GOVT.FIRST GRADE COLLEGE , NELAMANGALA Page 121

the college. The students are informed about various plans and strategies of the college

planned for a brief period.

The students are given a short speech on their behavioral aspects in the college and issues like

importance of attending the classes regularly, keeping the college premises clean and their

involvement in various activities if the college. Every faculty member is given a brief period

of time to make any announcements to be made, related to their subject and department.

Students who have won prizes or achieved something special, however small it is,

appreciated, acknowledged in front of all by calling the name of such student and making

him/her to stand in front of all. Students are also given a time space to interact with the

faculty and ask any sort of doubt.

Evidence of success:

This practice has promoted a sense of oneness among the students of various streams

to come together. The listening skills of the students are improved because of focused

listening in the

assembly. The practice has avoided the situations arising out of miscommunication and

getting partial or no information. The students are motivated to behave well in a group and

appreciate the fellow students through this practice. The students of our college are enjoying

this practice and finding it very useful.

Problems encountered and Resources required:

There are no such serious problems are encountered in the practice, however small issues like

the indiscipline and noise made by the students when they are asked to assemble together, as

they chatted with their friends. The student assembly is conducted presently in the quadrangle

of the college. The need of a big auditorium with sound system is expected to conduct state/

national/international level conferences and other events.

35. SWOC analysis of the Department and Future plans. :

Strength :

History is a subject which deals with mankind of the past and also we have plenty of

monuments to reexamine the past so in the modern days we have many historical place to

visit .

Audio visual teaching device ICT History department has three PhD qualified

teachers Around Nelamangala we have many historical places like Manne. Shivagange

Binnamangala and many more.

Weekness:

Lack of infrastructural facility in our department like History Room. It is very

difficult for students from rural area to meet their financial need.

It is difficult to create employment opportunity for the students.

Opportunity :

Around Nelamangala we have many historical places like Manne. Shivagange

Binnamangala and many more. Manne is the capital city of Ganga. Shivagange is the

historical place many monuments are scattered around the town. Binnamangala is a place

which is having Mukthinatheswara temple is constructed by The cholas. Bettahalli is the

place which is having Paleolithic people settlement now we can see the graveyard

(Dolmans) of them.

Challenges:

History is a subject which deals with mankind of the past so we cannot repeat the

events once again so we cannot conduct the events in the class room situation. so it is the

challenging one to bring attention of the students in modern days . Financial assistance is a

challenges.

Future Plan:

1. History Room to be established in the college

2. Karnataka History congress session to be conducted.

3.National level History seminar , conference and workshop to be conducted in the college

4. Historical excursion to be conducted in around the state.

5. Bachelor of Tourism Administration course to be started

6. PG course to be started in the subject History.

Strength:

The college library has wide range of books and e-resources on Mathematics.

Personal attention given to almost all the students.

Results are good every year.

Weakness:

Most of the student come from rural area and they are bit poor in basic knowledge in

Mathematics.

Admission to science course is very less due to unavailability of feeding institutions

offering 12th
